Kidney plant

It took me some while to figure out what I wanted to do for body double. So I decided to play the piano and noticed a coffee cup that somebody in my dorm had left. I originally thought I was going to do a body double of an appendix, but I have no idea how I got to creating a body double of a kidney but I did. I've seen plants being grown out of cups, and I've always thought about the simplicity yet beauty of it. It seemed like a combination of an industrial society mixed with non industrial. So thinking about it, I thought it would be nice to create a project with a plant in it. Then the thought of having a kidney plant hit me. I thought it was somewhat clever with a comedic side to it. I took the coffee cup that was left on the piano and decided that I was going to fill the cup with soil and little pebbles. I wanted to create my own kidney plant with the use of real stems as well as duplicates made out of silver wire that would be wrapped around with green construction paper. The leaves would be the same too; real leaves and fake leaves that would too be made out of construction paper. Making the kidney was a little bit more difficult to figure out. I decided on using a stone or pebble to recreate a "kidney stone". Meanwhile the other side I would make a healthy kidney. I want to also specifically show the differences between the real objects and fake; the good and the bad. On the left everything will be healthy and on the left it represents this artificial plant that's dying. In my performance I'm going to water the plant with the use of my hands being cupped together. I want to show how precious life is and how easily damaged it can get.
